to little MOLAS lake and did studies there to find the different measures of chemicals and traits of the lake.
Description
Description
this test went over the equations for chemical reactions, and tested our knowledge on how to construct them. I got a meets minus as I got about 3 questions wrong. my goal is to get a better grade next time by working on understanding the concepts better and putting more time into it.
Long Term Learning Target
I can apply my understanding of the structure and properties of matter by professionally demonstrating a chemical reaction and explaining how it occurs verbally, visually and in writing.
A piece of evidence to prove that i met this learning target is exhibition. I aced it with accurate information written down, a good performance, and I demonstrated that i knew how to perform the reaction and new all the safety precautions.
How thsi can be used in the future
I can use this in the future as i got better at presenting In front of a big crowd and that can help a lot in the future as i will be prepared for when i ever have to speak to a large crowd.
we just recently did a quiz on what we have been studying in science class, we have been working on how the human senses work like how we hear and how we see different colors. in this quiz we worked on hearing and were asked questions about things like wavelengths and how we hear different frequencies.
the biggest thing we did in science was the chemical theater exhibition. in this exhibition we had groups of 3 and were assigned different reactions to learn about and preform in front of a large crown, i was assigned the methane whoosh where you put methanol into a bottle and then light it to make a big explosion, and after we did the experiment i got a really good grade with my worm and how i performed on stage.
in this exhibition we made an escape room using light and sound waves for the parents to solve and made clues using these topics to make it challenging and fun.
we have done two anchor charts, a chemistry one, and a waves / forces and motion one. the chemistry anchor chart was exactly as it sounds, we were doing a unit one chemical reaction and logging activities in the chart, same with the waves anchor chart, we were learing all about forces and motion like, newtons laws, and sound + light waves, i did both of these anchor charts on paper.
In this project we made safety contraptions for eggs and dropped them from the top of the 3rd floor of the building, the goal was to make the lightest egg to win and if it breaks your out, we had a limited amount of supplies (listed below) and after the drop we had 30 seconds to get the egg out or we would be out, my group ended up in 4th place.

We recently did an exhibition for building and launching a rocket from a 2 liter bottle and it went great, we focused on using forces and motion for this including Newton's 3 laws of motion, air resistance, drag and thrust force, we even learned the science behind how the rockets fly.
For the rocket launch exhibition every group made a rocket manual, which is basically just a book all about your rocket design and how you got the ideas, along with how all newtons 3 laws apply to the rocket and how all the components added the the rocket helps it fly well, we also had to describe the prototypes we made and explain how we grew from them.
